New owners for popular Kelso café/bistro

KELSO’S popular HootnCat Café/Bistro has been sold through The Restaurant Agency. 

Operated by Susan Turnbull and family for the past 13 years, this busy daytime business is a favourite amongst locals, local groups and tourists alike throughout the year.

 

The Restaurant Agency’s Alan Goldie said: “Having been instructed to market the HootnCat Café on behalf of the Turnbull family and following on from our involvement with the marketing of The Waggon Inn in Kelso which was sold in the Autumn of 2022, we were also then delighted to secure the sale to Lisa McNaughton and Darren Rutter.”

 After a brief closure for refurbishment, the venue has now been reopened as The Knowes Eatery and Coffee House.
